I haven't been able to get a copy of the new TK book in my hands yet, but I've been hearing all kinds of rumors about how badass the model for this guy is. Problem is, I haven't been able to find a single picture of him on the internet...

Anyone got one for me? :(

Google search isn't yielding anything.

I havn't heard of this Character at all.

Is this the character made of a swarm of scarabs?

Yes.

I'll try to get a scan for you later today(and by extension the Necrotect since they're on the same page). Anyone want me to scan the bow Ushabti page, too?

Yes please, that would be awesome. XD

Prince Apophas has an ok model IMHO. It reminds me of the Dark Elf Sorceress wreathed in smoke in that the elemental aspect to the model (in this case a swarm of scarabs) doesn't really work for me.

In gaming terms, he is basically a character killer or should be except his stats aren't that fantastic. Aside from 5 attacks, he only has WS4 and S4 (plus re-rolled hits/wounds against a random opposing character). It strikes me that like Death Master Snikch, he will be best deployed against Wizards. Oh and I think he can fly.

He can fly and has that Entombed Beneath the Sands rule. But yes, I don't see him taking down too many big characters without magic giving him killing blow. In which case, he'll be kinda nasty.

I actually feel as though the model looks pretty awful. It's like a smiley skeleton, and the scarabs are indistinguishable from a pile of stones, and it's a really small scale.. basically picture a 3rd edition Warhammer figure, and make it look even less impressive.

i kanda like the model, but will need to see it IRL to really make the descision to get it. but will probably use it as a liche priest.

Yah, he totally sucks! I don't know why anyone thinks he's good at all.

I mean he only has S4 W4 A5. With Fly. Regeneration. Terror. With a breath weapon. Who can nominate 1 target to reroll hit/wound. All for 130 points.

But can he dance?


I.e., he's probably one of the best heroes in all of Warhammer Fantasy per cost.

I see a warmachine hunter and an archer tarpit.


he actually wouldn't do too bad as a flank charger. charge a large block from the front with Skellies or something with ranks and the Prince can flank them and rack up some combat res for you. 5 attacks is pretty rare for heroes.

I played against him with dark elves and he did pretty well, killing my pendant sorceress and 2 bolt throwers

Did you guys look on the GW home page? He's right at the top.

This thread was started before the model had been widely seen.
